Queerly Beloved - "Gay" Activists Sue eHarmony

Can you imagine a heterosexual suing a gay matchmaking site because they don't provide matchmaking for heterosexuals? Never happen, you say - and you're right. Normal human beings just wouldn't even dream of doing something so ridiculous, which makes it crystal clear what kind of nutcase gay activists are involved in suing eHarmony because eHarmony offers services only to men seeking women and vice versa, the company is in violation of a California state law which bans discrimination based on "sexual orientation." The suit also bespeaks of the truly strange laws in California.

Matt Barber's piece at TownHall provides the best perspective on this that I've seen so far:

Luigi is living the American dream. He's finally saved up enough money to come to America -- the land of freedom and opportunity -- to pursue his lifelong goal of owning and operating his own pizzeria. Based on his grandmother's old family recipe, his pizza pie quickly becomes known as the best in town.

Bruce is hungry. As he strolls down the boulevard, he decides he's got a taste for Chinese food. Bruce walks past three Chinese restaurants and goes into Luigi's. Bruce has seen too many episodes of The Sopranos, so he doesn't like Italians. "I'll have an order of Egg Foo Yung," Bruce says to Luigi. "Egg Foo who?" Luigi replies. Bruce promptly sues Luigi for unspecified damages, seeking an injunction to force him to add Egg Foo Yung to his menu.

Ridiculous, right? No more so than a "discrimination" lawsuit recently filed by homosexual activists in the Los Angeles County Superior Court which seeks to force eHarmony.com, a popular online matchmaking service, to essentially change its menu by compelling it to cater to the hook-up hankerings of "gays" and lesbians. The lawsuit asserts that, because eHarmony offers services only to men seeking women and vice versa, the company is in violation of a California state law which bans discrimination based on "sexual orientation."
